There's not a lot to show this week, though Joseph has been working hard on the roof raise. He finished cutting and detaching all that was needed, put some support posts along the sides, cut it all the way around, and raised the roof 18", using jacks and all-thread rods.
He wants to move the door more central to the bus, still on the passenger side. He cut out the floor in the spot for the new door, which will be needed for steps, and welded a door frame in the spot. If you look close in the first pic, you can see an "H" shape midway, which is the frame. If we can find something we like, we'll add a small stained glass window at the back. I already checked Marketplace and craigslist, with no luck. Next, we plan to check a local shop, which import stained glass from the UK. That's it this week.

Wow! What an ambitious project! I marvel at how some folks can do these things. No doubt he will appreciate the extra head room. Thanks for sharing.
His skill set is pretty amazing!
His skill set really IS amazing!! That would be beautiful if you can find a stained glass window. What a wonderful idea!
I found two windows today! Both small, but I think they'll add a nice touch. One for the bathroom, and one for the bedroom.
Very cool, Laurie.
Glad you found some windows that you like now, too!
Thank you! I'll share the windows in the next post!
